“...bare and show small complexes of some-
what higher Acacia villosa, Croton flavens and Caesalpinia coriaria,
but for the rest the only flora is formed by Bouteloua Humbold-
tiana and Aristida Swartziana, small plants of Jatropha gossypi-
folia, Evolvulus sericeus, Corchorus hirsutus, Tephrosia cinerea,
some Cereus plants, Sida procumbens and Diodia rigida. When
on these hills more Acacia tortuosa and some other shrubs deve-
lop, they are more overgrown. I mention as a specimen:
The Hills near Malpais.
Here is a rather dense shrub-growth of Croton flavens, Phyllan-
thus Euwensii, between which Cereus griseus and high shrubs of
Acacia tortuosa; especially Acacia villosa abounds here, while
Caesalpinia coriaria, Haematoxylon Brasiletto and a few Casearia
bonairensis belong to the higher forms with Bumelia obovata,
Randia aculeata and Myrtaceae; an occasional Guaiacum officinale
is also found on such grounds.
As a more central low hilly part we mention:
The hills between Wacao and Dokterstuin...”
